Vontobel Rising Economies Disruptors Index

As part of our Investor Outlook Roundtable 2026 we have introduced the new Vontobel Rising Economies Disruptors Index.

Emerging Asian countries are driving technological progress with impressive dynamism. China in particular has become a world leader in key technologies such as artificial intelligence, 5G, e-mobility and healthcare technologies and is making targeted investments in forward-looking innovations.

Tracker certificates on the Vontobel Rising Economies Disruptors Index enable investors to participate in this technological and economic change in one of the world's most dynamic regions. Although China is the largest growth country in the Asian region, it is not the only one that is open to new technologies. This is why disruptive forces are acting particularly quickly and strongly on the continent.

Emerging economies such as South Korea, Malaysia and Singapore, with their young, tech-savvy populations, also see opportunities rather than risks in new developments. Our new index invests in companies that we believe will benefit from technological progress and the associated upheavals in the aforementioned regions. The focus is on Chinese and Asian companies that are driving innovation, offering disruptive products or using disruptive technologies in their business models.

The areas in which such advances are taking place can be divided into four categories: Enabling Technologies, Automation, Healthcare Technology and Consumer Technology.
